If you have noticed a sudden accumulation of wrinkles, aches and pains or a general sensation of having grown older almost overnight, there may be a scientific explanation. Research suggests that rather than being a slow and steady process, aging occurs in at least two accelerated bursts.

The study, which tracked thousands of different molecules in people aged 25 to 75, detected two major waves of age-related changes at around ages 44 and again at 60. The findings could explain why spikes in certain health issues including musculoskeletal problems and cardiovascular disease occur at certain ages.

“We’re not just changing gradually over time. There are some really dramatic changes,” said Prof Michael Snyder, a geneticist and director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University and senior author of the study.

“It turns out the mid-40s is a time of dramatic change, as is the early 60s – and that’s true no matter what class of molecules you look at.”

My dad had a depression at 60, got visibly older. Looks like him being over 60 is another factor.

44 is probably the average age at which people start paying for their kids' college tuitions. That shit will age anybody.

😢. It’s the guardian though so take it with a huge grain of bs.

If only there was a way to look at the actual study, but oh no

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Unless you have the blessed Asian gene where you'll look 30 until your 70s. Several of my friends are far older than myself, but fit right in.
